Of all those systems mentioned, the only ones I'm missing from my collection are the Polymorphic 8800, SOL, RCA Cosmac Elf II, Compucolor, and Mattel Keyboard Component. You can throw a TI-99/4 in there as well, though technically I won one on eBay several years ago and it got lost in the mail, so in theory I do own one. ;-)
By the way, of ALL of the systems mentioned that I don't have the that I'd really LOVE to have (me and probably a hundred other hardcore collectors), is the Compucolor II, considered the first complete color personal computer: http://www.old-computers.com/museum/photos.asp?t=1&c=560&st=1 . Amazing technology for the time, and rare as heck today. Probably in second place would be the Mattel Keyboard Component (though I'd want it with some software), which readers of AA will know regularly sells for $3,000+, when available.
